Is morality a social utility and is it useless to the individual?

Real morality is not a social utility; it is the inner joy that arises from your being, purifying the self and embodying true culture.

— Osho
According to Osho, morality is largely utilitarian for society—it regulates behavior and sustains civilization—but for the individual it is not a mere utility; real morality is an inner joy. Pseudo-morality pleases society by polishing personality, yet leaves you empty. Authentic virtue arises from your being, purifies the self, and births culture—inner harmony embodied—whereas civilization is only the body, culture the soul.

Rules help society, but only real goodness from inside makes you happy and whole.
